Chapter 77

"Don't do it soon. The sooner the better. I don't want to see Fengmo appear in Fengzhou city for a moment!"

When King Yi said this, there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes.

He just dropped his voice. Another bodyguard came in a hurry outside.

"What's the matter? What's the purpose of being flustered?" when the visitor just entered the door, Yi Wang was a cluster of eyebrows and scolded angrily.

The other party looked at the Duke of Qi in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Your Highness, there has just been a message from the south that the painting fish has escaped to Fengzhou."

This remark is no small matter. Yiwang, who was calm just now, trembled slightly in the palm of his hand holding the tea lamp. His face suddenly turned green. The matter of Fengmo in Fengzhou has not been solved.

Unexpectedly, there was such a mistake in the south. The damn scholar went to Fengzhou with the map of starving dead people. I sent so many people along the way to chase and kill, but they were fruitless. Now I let him escape to Fengzhou city.

"Waste, so many people can't stop a scholar who has no strength to bind chickens. What's the use of you?" King Yi thought more and more angrily and threw the tea lamp in his hand on the ground.

Seeing that the master was angry, the bodyguard quickly fell to his knees with a plop, trembling and afraid to speak again.

The Duke of Qi on one side was worried when he heard the news, but now things have come to this point. It's no use killing these guards. Instead, it's better to find a reason to find out the scholar "Your Highness, calm down. Now that the matter has come to this point, it doesn't help to punish them. According to my minister, it's better to deploy more people to secretly investigate the surrounding checkpoints. Since we have a portrait in hand, I'm sure he can't escape the palm of your highness."

Yi Wang shook his head angrily, Teng stood up and looked down at the bodyguard in front of him: "you just said that the spy came to report that the scholar had fled to Fengzhou. Has he entered the Fengzhou city or just ran in the direction of Fengzhou? Have you investigated clearly and can he help along the way?"

Hearing the speech, the attendant recalled carefully. The news from the spies only said that they probably fled to the direction of Fengzhou and avoided their robbery and killing halfway. It was also because someone helped, but this was the origin of the person who helped. He had no news at all, but he did not dare to hide such a big event: "Your Highness, the spy came to the news that he just fled to the direction of closing the state, and he was able to escape from Shengtian on the way because someone helped him."

"What? Someone really saved him. He really has an accomplice. Can you find out who saved him? What's the matter?"

"Who is the one who helped? My subordinates didn't find out their identity. They only knew that those people came out suddenly, and their hand was very sharp, and everyone was a little unprepared..." at this point, the attendants were already hanging their heads and didn't dare to look at the master in front of them.

"Bastard, there is such a mistake. Who are these people? You must check it clearly, otherwise, the people who go to check won't come back!" Yi Wang stared at the attendants who had no news in front of him. He thought about who the people came out on the way. He didn't know yet. His heart was cold.

……

East Palace.

"Your Highness, your highness, Princess Ning sent a letter from the palace." in the prince's residence, another attendant hurried from the direction of the door, took out a letter from his sleeve and put his hands on it.

The crown prince is discussing matters with several aides standing below at the moment. When he heard the movement and silence outside, he looked at each other. Today, the spy just heard that the emperor suddenly summoned Feng Mo today and turned away. Although he didn't hear what he said clearly, he could also hear the sound of cups falling to the ground in the study. It can be seen that the emperor was angry, but he didn't Thinking that the emperor was so angry, the stranger came out of it unharmed.

Several people were puzzled when they heard the voice of the bodyguard entering the door: "isn't it the news from empress Ning for this matter? It's really timely."

His Highness the prince said and reached for the letter, but after reading it carefully, he was silent for a long time.

"Your Highness, what's the matter..." the staff standing at the head looked at each other.

The prince sighed and handed over the letter in his hand: "have a look."

The staff did not understand and then read it carefully in their hands. They all looked at each other: "Your Highness, Princess Ning suddenly mentioned it this time. I'm afraid it happened for a reason..."

"Today, Feng Mo was specially recruited into the palace by his father. Although he broke up unhappily, he didn't suffer any harm. It can be seen that it's useless for us to make efforts to investigate general Jinling. In that case, why waste time on it, so the mother imperial concubine threw out this matter to remind us!"

The following attendants were silent for a long time, and just then said: "Your Highness means that although the emperor has found out that his highness King Xiang is secretly investigating the affairs of general Jinling, although he is angry, he doesn't want to punish him. Therefore, it's no intention to make an article on this matter. Instead, it's better to ask the emperor to transfer him from the capital for a while!"

This stranger has always been stubborn and has always been at odds with his father. This time, he can ignore his father's anger and insist on checking the affairs of general Jinling. It can be seen that even with a piece of imperial edict, he may not be obedient and leave Fengzhou.

"Things in the south are just gossip. At present, we don't have conclusive evidence. Feng Mo disobeyed his father's emperor for more than two days. He can ignore the emperor's order and continue to investigate what he wants to investigate, so he can resist the purpose and disrespect other things. If he wants to leave Fengzhou according to our meaning, I'm afraid he has to come up with a good way."

"Your Highness is worried that only those things in the South can not be said to be groundless." the front aide thought about it and bowed his hand respectfully to his Highness the prince.

"What do you mean?" the prince turned his eyes to each other's face and his eyebrows jumped slightly.

The staff nodded and continued: "in fact, my subordinates have heard about the Tao in the south for a long time. In order to explore it, my subordinates have sent spies to check it. The south is indeed the same as the rumor. There are floods, no crops, people wandering and starving everywhere."

"Sure enough, there was no movement in how to seal the state city. Did these local officials eat bear heart and leopard courage? They were so bold." the prince heard the speech and immediately clapped the case and said with righteous indignation.

"What your highness said is very true. These local officials are really bold. They not only don't report their information, but also chase and kill the victims who want to report to the higher authorities along the way. My subordinates heard that one of the scholars made a painting called the picture of starving dead people and came to report." seeing the master's anger, the staff's face immediately changed a sad feeling.

"The picture of starving people?!" the prince asked with a wrung eyebrow, "where is this thing now and where is the scholar?"

"This subordinate doesn't know. It's said that the scholar was chased and killed along the way. It's said that he had already died, and the map of starving death fell into the killer. It's also said that the scholar was saved, and the map of starving death has been sealed up." the staff sighed.

There was no result. The prince was disappointed when he heard what he said. When he thought about it carefully, he felt it was wrong. This southern territory has always been the confidant of King Yi's way. Now, if there was such a thing, it depends on those small local officials. If there was no one behind them, they would not have such courage and have the ability to appoint killers. It seems that this matter has something to do with King Yi: "These local officials don't have so much courage. There's nothing going on these days with King Yi."

"Although King Yi is sick at home, he is still keen on the government. His confidant, Duke Qi, goes to the palace every day. He must have known these things for a long time. However, there is no trace of spies in the palace in the south. However, his subordinates know that among the officials who hide and ignore human life in the south, King Yi is the most hardworking "Cultivated confidant," the staff thought and analyzed.
